<\/a>By Tyler \u201cThe Miracle Man\u201d White<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter a dominant display against David Haye and after putting in one of his career best performances, Tony Bellew, did not waste any time in calling out the former Pound-for-Pound Kingpin – Andre Ward.<\/p>\n
In the immediate post fight press conference, Bellew and the Matchroom Boxing Promoter, Eddie Hearn, said that Ward was interested in the fight and that this would be a fight that they would be looking to make sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
However, with Andre Ward having retired not so long ago due to the fact that his body couldn\u2019t handle the rigors of training, is it likely that he would take such a risk against a naturally bigger man? <\/p>\n
Not only is Bellew the naturally bigger man and a bigger puncher, but he has already shown what he is capable of doing to fighters who\u2019s bodies cannot handle the training and the demands of fighting at World level\u2026<\/p>\n
Is that a risk worth taking for a man who\u2019s legacy is already etched into the pages of boxing history?<\/p>\n
As time goes on, the odds fall ever more increasingly in favor of the \u201cFat Scouser\u201d, who to me seems to be a bit like a fine wine, in the sense that he will only get better with age!<\/p>\n
Bellew, who at 35 years old is no spring chicken, looks like he\u2019s improving every time he gets in the ring – we\u2019ve always known that he\u2019s got heart, guts and a solid boxing ability, but as he ages his boxing brain grows more and more adept and he probably see\u2019s and understands a lot more than when he was a younger and wilder fighter.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Ward has always fought the wise fight and has boxed smart his whole professional career, knowing when and where to turn up the pace and make things a bit more rough and ragged. The problem though, lies in his body and whether or not he can get in the ring in the best shape possible; without any injuries and can he cope with the size advantage of the \u201cBomber\u201d?<\/p>\n
Whether or not this fight ever happens, it\u2019s interesting as a boxing fan, to try and figure out who would win and how the contest would go!<\/p>\n
With all things weighed up, I think it could actually turn out to be a real 50\/50 fight\u2026<\/p>\n
A lot of people would probably disagree, but when we take into account the size difference, the increased composure in Tony Bellew\u2019s style and all of the injuries\/wear and tear throughout Ward\u2019s body, I believe it makes this potential fight a lot closer to call.<\/p>\n
After Bellew\u2019s last few fights, I wouldn\u2019t put it past him to cause an upset. However, I also believe that Ward is one of the greatest fighters of his era and so I can equally see him being able to work out and carry out a game-plan which would see him return from retirement with another victory.<\/p>\n
Whatever the outcome, I\u2019d pay to see this fight and think it could be really entertaining!<\/p>\n
